Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

It's official, we have located a new residence in Brookings, Oregon Map (Its actually the long narrow brown roof at the end of the road)

I am currently in northern Michigan to drive my father to Florida I get back to Tucson on 10/22, load wife's car and a trailer with her cloths, a bed, TV, and some kitchen supplies and head up 10/26 to meet her in Crescent City 10/28

She begins preforming eye exam's 10/30 at the Fred Meyers, I will return to Tucson to finish packing the house, hope to be done by Christmas

This whole thing started as a thought back in August, and progressed to Kristine finding a new practice (optometry). We looked in Newport, but the office was too small.

I remember how I used to be able to toss all my stuff in the car and drive to a new place, look on the local bulletin board, find someone looking for a roommate and be sleeping in my new place that night. Now I need a huge u-haul, load only the necessary items and fly back at least 3 times

But, you did note that the drive to Kite Party has been greatly extended ... yes?

Cheers,Tom

But what a drive of course that'll add another 200% to the time required to stop and see all that scenery, at least the first few trips. You might elect to jump over to I-5, not much to see there and only 9 minutes longer. Alternately you could do I-5 / CA-99 and pick us Chico folks up on the way, only another 17 minutes.

I am in Michigan, driving to Florida...Kristine just called and said a friend might know somebody that want to rent the house in Tucson...timetable may move up a bit good thing I gave up that work thing!

You can drive down to Crescent City for our kite club fly the 1st weekend of each month too.

I will be there for the November fly.. Saturday or Sunday??

I'll make it for the November fly as long as something unforeseen doesn't come up. When i can make it, I almost always come over on Saturday and fly all day. It takes me a couple of hours to drive there so you'll have a much easier drive from Brookings.

Welcome to the wonderful state of Oregon. We'll be looking forward to seeing you on a flying field next year. Most of the festivals on your list are on ours too! You want to watch yourself Al Stroh is liable to recruit you for the Brookings festival committee. You mght want to add Berkeley to that list too. About a 6 hour drive down 101. Good luck with the move.

CONGRATS Mike !!! VERY NICE!! although after looking at the home and map the area looks to be a little crowded LOL hope to be passing through fairly soon. here's to not seeing each other at kite partyregards Kurt
